Dear Christian,
IS CHRIST YOUR LIFE OR JUST A MERE PART OF IT?
This question has a cousin called "DO YOU KNOW CHRIST OR ARE YOU JUST FAMILIAR WITH HIM?
And just yesterday listening to an audio by David Pawson on the subject of The Kingdom Of God, I found out that they both have a mutual friend called "CHRIST IS KING BUT DOES HE RULE YOUR LIFE?
Now these are questions you'd have to really ask yourself and really find answers to especially in these times; in these last days.
For time is fast running out and it would be sad to go through this life thinking you know Christ only to hear Him say to you "Depart from me I know you not", "you only used my name but I didn't use you" on the final day.
[[Matt. 7:21-33]]
It would be sad to sing His praise and adore Him as King but have Him say to you "I only reigned on your lips, but I didn't have rulership of your heart, my word and commands were not the only and highest rule for your life". [[Matt. 15:8; John 14:15]]
And it would be most sad to think that you "fulfilled all righteousness" by attending church on Saturdays or Sundays, giving your tithes and offerings diligently, having morning and evening devotions, taking up roles and duties at Church, having the "markings" of a good Christian...
But from Monday to Friday nobody can tell you're a Christian; Christ isn't seen in any of your day-to-day activities, be it in your appearance or utterance. You only speak about Christ and act like a Christian at Church, when and where it's most convenient.
The Christ way isn't found in your business; you do not mix christianity with business, right?
So Christ is not at work, at school, in the neighborhood, among friends but only at Church?
You don't wear your faith on your sleeve everywhere you go for that would only attract jeers, ridicule, mockery and some form of animosity so you leave it at home and only pick it up on Sundays or Saturdays succumbing to the ideals and opinions of men throughout the rest of the week...
Just know that you have made Christ a department of your life and not the whole institution. He is not your life but just a mere part of it. And because you have denied Him in this way before men, He will also deny you before the hosts of angels on that day.
[[Matt. 10:33]]
You have got to know where you stand with Christ and where He stands in your life NOW before it's too late.
